Question

How do you write an equation in point slope form that passes through (-4, -2) with slope -5?

Answer 1

The equation of line passing through (a,b) with slope m is
`y-b=m(x-a)`

Explanation:

Given
`(a,b)=(-4,-2)`
`m= -5`
Just substitute the values in the equation.

`y+2= -5(x+4)`
`5x+y+22=0`

Which is the equation in point slope form that passes through (-4, -2) with slope -5.
